I like the idea of using it as a significantly more powerful and more dynamic vampiric mist (so might be used as a boss monster with some CR3 vampiric mist - so maybe CR 6 or so. I will stat up something in an hour or so and post

Now for my world I need an interesting Vampiric Mist - and I stumbled across the 4e one (p42 of Dungeon #221 in adventure "Vainglorious") and liked its mechanics enough to import it to 5e. I have a vague idea I saw it somewhere else too but can't remember where now. The one from Mordenkainen's...

Heh, I can DnDbeyond it posthaste...should the 'bite' be slashing or piercing damage? And the claw damage - "6 (1d4 + 3)" --> "5 (1d4 + 3)"?

ok I like nudging the hp down a tad, so maybe 207hp (18d8 + 126)

So leaving her at 230hp then? Was trying to follow yr thought processes...

ok gone with STR 19 DEX 21 (I can't picture her being weaker than STR 18 TBH.) (also - what is difference between green and pink text?)

sounds good to me/done

Great - I have CR 21 pencilled in...

Great! Yes x 3!

Only really familar with 1e,2e and 5e. Seems to me there is more of an unwritten sense of what is "core" material, what is "FR" and what is "Greyhawk" the whole time. The two Campagin settings are so generic that one can shift from non-setting to setting material pretty smoothly. I've never...

I suspect the latter - Mike Shea talks about this often (official dnd monsters doing too low damage for their CR) - but clearly some are the other way. Maybe they rushed them...who knows

O this looks good - question is...if Fiendish does it warrant resistance/immunity to poison (leaning yes) and/or fire (mixed feelings as fire is classically what you deal with these things with)

Ummm.....didn't register...fixed now. plus spacing https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/4084073-fire-archomental

Using its swarm breath while in swarm form strikes me as really weird. Making it a trait gives it more versatility as not an action as such.

My quandary is...is it a bit odd that it can breathe a swarm and then turn into one as well? Maybe the swarm it becomes has the same hp as it (33), rather than 22, and conserves +4 to hit bonus? Agree about it not gaining immunity ti being charmed and frightened in swarmform

Yeah sure

Yup - looks good - added

Cool - I wait with baited (but not noxious) breath!

Minsc and Boos never made it to DnDbeyond sadly and that was released a wee while ago now...so not holding out hope for this one sadly
